Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 31, 2025) - Orecap Invest Corp‎. (TSXV: OCI) (OTCQB: ORFDF) ("Orecap" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced consolidation of its ownership position on certain land tenure within its McGarry Project ("McGarry" or the "Project"), located in Virginiatown, Ontario. Orecap now owns 100% of all the tenure comprising McGarry, subject to existing royalties.

McGarry is a Strategic Asset with Significant Upside and Infrastructure

McGarry encompasses 2.4km of the prolific Cadillac-Larder Lake Break ("CLLB"), and encompasses 681 hectares, comprised of 46 patented mining claims and 5 mining licenses, now 100%-owned by Orecap. McGarry hosts a historical NI 43-101 indicated resource of 447,000 grading 8.57 g/t gold (123,000 oz), and an inferred resource of 157,000 grading 5.83 g/t gold (30,000 oz)¹. McGarry also hosts the historical Kerr Addison mine tailings.

McGarry was in production as recently as 2013 from significant underground workings, where it also saw underground exploration. Significant capital was spent upgrading McGarry's infrastructure, including the shaft, hoist, and onsite facilities necessary for an underground mine. Furthermore, historical underground exploration yielded high-grade results across multiple zones, including the Kerr Zone, located outside of the project's resource estimate.

McGarry Central to Regional Consolidation Strategy

McGarry is located adjacent to Gold Candle Ltd.'s Kerr Addison project ("Kerr Addison"), led by Pierre Lassonde (Chairman) and Rick Howes (CEO), and Agnico Eagle's Upper Beaver Project³. McGarry's resource and infrastructure in place underscores the Project's importance in any regional consolidation strategy. McGarry's existing infrastructure, notably the shaft which extends to 2,290 ft below surface, provides for a less expensive, accelerated timeline, to access potential underground resources.

McGarry Property Hosts Historic Kerr Addison Tailings

Kerr Addison historically produced 11 million ounces at 9 g/t gold⁴. Tailings from the historic Kerr Addison operation, estimated to cover 73 hectares which represent over 1Mt per vertical metre⁵ are situated within the McGarry property limit. While definitive tonnage and grade data has not been established, historical documentation suggest potential presence of residual gold within the tailings. In line with Ontario's simplified permitting process for recovering metals and minerals from mine waste at operating, closed, or abandoned sites, Orecap will seek to evaluate the existence and, if applicable, the quantity and potential economics of extracting minerals from the Kerr Addison tailings.

Transaction Details

Orecap acquired the remaining 25% of certain McGarry tenure to consolidate it's 100% ownership of McGarry for $50,000 payable in cash, and $50,000 in Orecap shares, totaling 620,498 shares, calculated using the preceding 10 trading day volume weighted average price ("VWAP") of Orecap shares ($0.08058/sh) as of the date of the agreement.
